guild wars

Hi,
I'm trying to play guild wars on vista 5384. The game runs surprisingly good compared to the 99% of my other games that aren't runnig at all, or with major performance degradations. I got a few small problems though, that makes me rather play it under windows xp:
- I can't task switch, switching works out of the game fine, but i can't ever swith back (this is important to me, as I usually want to chat with messenger and/or adjust teamspeak while playing)
- During loading, the screen flashes rather rude (between blank black, and the load-screen)
It seems to me, that the video card / video driver is causing both of the minor issues. I'm using an Nvidia GeForce 6600GT, with the default video driver that comes with vista.
Has anyone suffered from the same problems and found any solutions, please?

You might want to try downloading the Nvidia beta drivers from Nvidia. I nevered tried to play guildwars before I installed them, and so far I've had no trouble tabbing back and forth.
Also the blanking and unblanking seems to happen when I go from Areo to a non-areo app, and back. Since your using a 6600GT I'm pretty sure you're Areo. Try turning that off and see if your problem goes away durning the loading.
